I was in board with most of the book until around the penultimate issue where
I don't see why Tony and Carol don't arrive at a midway point to all this Minority Report business and just have a SHIELD agent or full-time Avenger on hand to witness a situation and have backup ready just in case a prophecy comes true. Have Strange encase someone in a bubble for 30 seconds if they look like they'll actually commit a crime, then talk them out of it. No superhero Gitmo required!

Tony attacks in a massive suit of armor, apparently to the death, over Miles's innocence. There's nothing going on at that specific point in the story to suggest that he needed to do that instead of just reiterating his previous arguments.I don't see why Tony and Carol don't arrive at a midway point to all this Minority Report business and just have a SHIELD agent or full-time Avenger on hand to witness a situation and have backup ready just in case a prophecy comes true.

Civil War II, the event no one needed, save for those who wanted to see Carol Danvers's evil fascist twin!
If you look up "mindless hero vs hero with fantastic art," you'll see this here cover to Civil War 2. Any serious diatribe, commentary, analysis on this book would probably force a blood clot to form inside your brain and kill you.
Full review not incoming.

Good grief this jumps all over the place in time. On one page someone doesn‰ЫЄt have their powers. On the next they‰ЫЄve had them for a while. On one page someone . Then a few pages later, they‰ЫЄre
They threw Civil War II #0 and Civil War II FCBD in here without giving any sense of timeline. Just kinda sloppy.
But it‰ЫЄs a good story - and an interesting idea. Plus, BMB wrote it, so you know it‰ЫЄs going to be somewhat good.
Though I don‰ЫЄt know if I liked the side Captain Marvel came down on. Captain Marvel Vol 2: Civil War II has better background - and it made me feel better about Carol‰ЫЄs options. I wonder what Kelly Sue DeConnick thinks of the direction of this character?

I don't want to invest the amount of energy that writing the ranty review this deserves. Plus, plenty of people have been doing that since these issues were dropping. Though, I think one of the things I hate most about this is the absolutely gorgeous art wasted on a terrible story. This book is definitely as pretty as it is annoying.
I didn't hate the Ms. Marvel Civil War volume, which is what inspired me to pick this up, but that volume was way better than anything from the actual line. While I mostly hate read this, it may lead me to reading some stuff I hadn't considering picking up, like Miles Morales Spider-Man & She-Hulk.
One common criticism of Civil War II was the character assassination of Carl Danvers, so this is where I admit that other than her brief appearances in Ms Marvel, I haven't read much Captain Marvel, which I also plan to change soon.
Also, Marvel, maybe stop killing black characters to make white characters have feelings. You know, just a thought. Rhodey did not deserve this shit.

This was just ok. I guess it's an interesting concept but a lot of this seemed unrealistic, which is saying a lot with it being a super hero comic. The conflicts just seemed like they didn't need to happen and also it went from superheroes beating eachother to death with no regard for collateral damage to "oh it's all over everyone can relax now" in the space of a few pages. I don't really understand some of the visions either. The use of visions of the future was done really well in the vision comics- the visions indirectly cause the event that they're trying to stop, but in these comics Ulysses will just get a really random vision of one superhero killing another one and you never get a sense of what events would actually lead up to that. On the plus side- the art is gorgeous. So there's that.

"From the creative team that brought you House of M and Siege comes a blistering first chapter in Marvel’s new explosive event." well, if only it was anywhere near HoM in terms of quality... Sure, the art is pretty, but other than that... Meh, not only did it dragged on too long (both in-universe and the actual publishing dates), it wasn't that good, the characters felt off and the dialogues were stilted, overall, not really a great read.

Surprisingly good crossover event with a thought provoking dilemma. I didn’t know which side to root for for most of the book.

Despite what people have said about this event I think it’s very readable. I’m team Iron Man, and I think the comic is more in favor of his viewpoint. Though I read the Captain Marvel title at the same time and that makes it slightly better.
I wasn’t bored though it summarizes at times instead of showing, but I liked it.
Four stars

I did not think that this concept was as powerful as the one from the original Civil War story line, but it was still good. It brings up that age old question about intelligence and how to act on it. It also does a great job of showing the real power of Captain Marvel and the intelligence of Iron Man. Plus, it leaves is with two dead superheroes and one changed forever?!
